In Luke 13:4-5, Jesus posed a question related to a tower falling with many deaths, “Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem? I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.” Fifteen years ago today, my wife woke me to say that terrorists flew a passenger plane into one of the World Trade Center buildings. 2,996 people died with 6,000 others injured by those attacks. On September 11, 1683, the combined forces of the Holy Roman Empire defeated the Ottoman Turks in their siege of Vienna, halting the Moslem advance in Europe. 20,000 Turks died in the attack. Everyone is going to die. The more important question is, where will you spend eternity? Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. Jesus used a tragic event to bring a crucial reminder concerning the punishment of sin. Everybody dies and everybody deserves to die. On this anniversary of 9/11 there are many things we should never forget. We should never forget the still real potential of a terrorist attack on American soil. However, even more we should never forget the eternal punishment we will face without genuine repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. Acts 17:30, “And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent.”
